Abstract

In early April 2003, Training Section staff attended the annual regional meeting organised by SPC’s Regional Maritime Programme. Michel Blanc, SPC Fisheries Training Adviser, gave an informative presentation on bycatch awareness training for tuna longlining in the Pacific. Michel gave an overview of pelagic tuna longline fishing. He explained that mainlines of up to 150 kilometres in length and up to 2000 to 3000 baited hooks with buoys to hold up the mainline are used, noting that the line is usually hauled the same day it is set.
